Low prices, and some weak spots to weigh against them. Prices are modest for what you get: at the median price, a 70 m² home costs 3.6 times the median annual income per consumption unit in the intercommunality. Police record less crime here than in most towns: an average of 7 recorded violent incidents and 9.3 recorded burglaries, vehicle thefts, thefts from vehicles and acts of criminal damage per 1,000 residents a year, 2023–2025. What holds it back is health (C−) — after allowing for care homes, deaths from 2016 to 2025 were 1% below expected, against 12% below for the median of compared French towns. Put together, the subjects come to an A− overall, better than 82% of compared French towns. It ranks #6 of 19 in Haute-Vienne.
